Being Gratful a Day Later And Sad for the World

The TV blares in the next room with news out of India...terrorists have murdered 180 at least, more injured...a young Chabad rabbi and his Israeli wife among the dead at that Jewish Center.
Their two year old escaped with his nanny...now an American tells how he escaped the bombs and terrorists at a popular hotel...and I am grateful for having had yesterday with my family...sitting at a peaceful Thanksgiving dinner with my beautiful daughter, her husband, their friends, my brother, my husband and my two little grandchildren age four...How can these two opposite pictures be happening simultaneously in the world? Why do some need to murder for what? Why? and now we must be on guard even here...

Great photos of your day yesterday. You look great. It is hard to listen to the news any more. So many who have such sadness in their lives. It does make it hard to be happy when you get together with your loved ones. You do have much to be thankful for everyday.

Lynniskynni, it's so good to see these pictures of love here creating a counterbalance to everything ugly which may happen at the same time. Is there an answer to the question; Why? I don't know, but we have to cherish the love we have, and try to help others, so it can make a difference, a little one but still a difference.I love the second picture, hide and seek, it is awsome! And all the smiling people here:)have a peaceful SundayloveAndrea

About Lynn Cohen

I started my blog, formerly called "Getting My Feet Wet" in 2007. Then I was posting mainly art quilts and photos of family happenings. In more recent years I started drawing and in 2014 became a regular student in Sketchbook Skool. My art has grown expeditiously since then. Now you will be following along my day to day happenings, as I chronicle them in art journals with ink, colored pencils, watercolor and most recently, Copic markers, which are alcohol based and blend really well. I hope you enjoy the journey with me.

My Art Journal Where I draw nearly daily. You are invited to follow along.

Remembering Patty 1940-2013

Patty and I were best friends for 73 years! I loved playing with her as a little girl living across the street from each other, and I loved playing with her as adult women. Neither of us had a sense of direction and we had fun getting lost in nearby towns and laughing trying to find the car that we may have walked by who knows how many times! I miss that laughter and that friendship. Patty was also my best art critic (she loved everything I did and had pieces of it hanging in every room of her home) Thank you Patty.
